The Musée des Plans-Reliefs is taking part in the new edition of the Journées nationales de l'Architecture with workshops for children, to be experienced on Saturday, October 19, 2024.

Autumn in Paris is not all rest and relaxation: events and meetings follow one another without respite, much to our delight. After the Fête de la Science, the Art Basel fair and the Monument Jeu d'Enfant event, it's now the turn of the Journées nationales de l'Architecture to introduce us to new horizons.

The aim: to highlightarchitecture, its treasures, its professions and its importance, through encounters and workshops designed for the general public.

The Musée des Plans-Reliefs, housed in the Hôtel National des Invalides in the 7th arrondissement, is once again taking part in the Journées de l'Architecture. For the occasion, the museum welcomes curious young and old alike, for a day of fun and educational discoveries. This Saturday, October 19, 2024, join in the special activities. Here's the program for the day.

On the program for the Journées de l'Architecture at the Musée des Plans-Reliefs:

  • Family workshop "At the time of the citadels"
    Discover relief maps during a guided tour of the museum.
    Discover the history and purpose of plan-reliefs, historical models of fortified towns. After a presentation of the collection and an introduction to bastioned fortifications in front of the models, children build a small model of a bastioned front. This workshop introduces them to the shapes, vocabulary and design of fortifications in the era of Louis XIV and Vauban. Children leave with their own creation!
